Drawing and painting have always been my biggest passions. Ever since I was a child, I used to draw everything I saw or imagined: fantastic worlds, landscapes, people, and cats! I was born in 1984 in the nice medieval town of Scarperia (near Florence, Italy), where I currently live and work, except when I travel!.

After graduating with a degree in Costume and Scenic Design at the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence (2007), I worked for three years as a fashion designer, but soon after that I returned to pursue my biggest passion: illustration, enrolling at the Nemo Academy of Florence. Since 2013 I've been working as freelance illustrator for many international publishing houses, and visual development artist and concept artist for animation studios.

When I don't draw you could easily find me all around the world traveling, or maybe in the Tuscany hills walking with my lovely dogs and family!
